As commonplace as this style is, it is kind of in the dark as to who exactly came up with it. I do realize that I may have played a role with my realistic designs before the style became commonplace but there is no way I was close to the first. Who do you think made the first IRL bot, how far back does this style of building go in DSL?

Let me tell you something I learned through life... The weakest link in the chain isn't always the failure point.Steam:

it's been around since the dawn of ra2, just didn't get popular until like 2015 or sothe main reason was the release of ra2cf cause it made it stupid easy

Though it's still likely that there was IRL building before that. And it's also reasonable to assume that many builders built in an IRL-esque style before being influenced by other users. If that's true, then there isn't really an inventor of IRL. It's just something that has gotten to be more developed and recognizable over the years.

When I came here no one really built IRL bots. Stock was going stronger and so did DSL-S. I played RA2 for several years before I joined and I was always building what is known as IRL today (or poor DSL-S)I wouldn't say I invented IRL but I guess I had some influence in it becoming popular back in the day. I was criticised for my bots not being combat efficient until IRL became a thing
